Menu Plan Monday & Thanksgiving

Head over to Laura’s for Menu Plan Monday. There are a TON of menus linked over there, many of which have yummy things for Thanksgiving, if you need some inspiration. For the Gluten Free Menu Swap, go see Book of Yum where Sea has picked sweet potatoes as the theme ingredient.

The good news: my kids are home for the entire week! Yay for me! The bad news: I have been fighting off some sort of nasty sinus thing… So, I am hoping it clears up the rest of the way before Thursday. Our family is running the Turkey Trot that morning before we eat our feast, and I don’t want to tote a jumbo box of kleenex around! Blah!

Instead of Roasted Brussels(**) we are having a gluten and dairy free green bean casserole(I will post on Tuesday, including the crispy onion topping- my kids don’t eat it, but the rest of the family misses it.)

Instead of Roasted Autumn Vegetables (**), my sister is making another roasted root dish with a glaze to share…

Mixed greens salad with orange cranberry dressing

**Gluten & Dairy free Clover Leaf Dinner Rolls (and a second batch of the recipe making a orange cardamon version by adding 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest, and 1/2 scant teaspoon cardamon to the dough, topping with an orange juice glaze)
